I'm sure someone has posted this at some point, but what are everyone's top five musicals?

Well, if you are sure, then why did you post it. I think its easier to search and bring the thread back to life. I will grab you some links.

I'm not trying to be mean, it just keeps the board cleaner.

I think it's fine to start this up again. As new musicals keep coming out, opinions change, and why thumb through 27 pages of changing opinions when we can start a new thread? So long as it doesn't pop up, say, twice a week or anything.

-The Rocky Horror Show
-Les Miserables
-Rent
-Lennon
-Li'l Abner

Unless some of you are basing solely on what you have seen live, I find it hard to believe that some of the top musicals of all time are ones from the past 10 years...
